About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm not dying before I've been in DRC

ABOUT ME

Well my friends say i'm a very optimistic and quit loud crazy blond girl!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry, be happy!
No but really, just try to see what is coming to you and not stress, just take things as they are.
Does not mean that I just accept things that seem unjust to me, my friends always say that I want to get all injustice out of the world and I might be too idealistic/optimistic in it. I disagree :)
I'm quit impulsive and not rational, I always make a lot of big plans - at least in my head-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Untill now I have only hosted people, in the year I was living in Lisbon

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now only hosted people in my house

Interests

I volunteer in a lot of organisations: giving classes to kids, in a refugee house for women,...
I play footbal and sometimes, sometimes I go run or swim :-) I like going out, dancing and drinking with my friends and meeting new people.

For the rest, I really like making long and short trips, during my erasmus year in Portugal I traveled as much as I could. I like hitchiking, even if it hasn't always turned out so pleasant but still I'm convinced it's one of the best ways to travel and get in contact with new papers!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love going to little, local festivals in summer! My most favourite festival ever will always stay Couleur Cafe in Brussels :)

I can get emotional over almost every single movie!

I love going to second-hand markets and in general second-hand shops
